What a rather supercilious response to what appears a genuine request for help - and from a "moderator" too.

People have spent lifetimes trying to "establish what art is" - surely some member out there can aid the originator of this thread in a more helpful way than by giving such an impossible instruction.

Sorry I cannot assist you James - as fine art and fashion photography - are both way beyond my simple skills - hopefully someone can.

I am sure you have your own ideas of "what art is" - as we all have - the next instruction will probably be "define fashion photography" !?!?!? - now that one is NOT impossible - just very difficult.

There were many threads - on this problem and other similar imponderable questions in the old DCM Forums - but the wealth of knowledge accrued was confined to the wastelands of cyberspace when the move over to Photoradar took place - a pity really - but there you have it - "progress".

Anyway the best of luck in your quest for genuine help to resolve your problem.
